Headquartered in Georgia, US, TickBox TV is predominantly used in the US but similar devices are hugely popular in the UK.

Warner Bros, 20th Century Fox and Paramount Pictures are also bringing the suit against the company.

TickBox promotes the device as the means to “cut the cord” if “you’re sick of paying high monthly fees and expensive bills for your regular cable bill and premium cable channels like HBO... or if you’re tired of wasting money with online streaming services like Netflix".
